In one of the forests of our country, the village council (Panchayat) allots the land to the forest people (Adivasis) for farming in a special unit called ‘tin’. What is tin? Correct Answer Land on which a farmer grows one tin of seeds

Concept:

  • People measure land at different places using different units.
  • The major units used are:
    • Acre
    • Hectare
    • Square meter

Explanation:

Lottery farming:

  • This type of farming is practised in Mizoram and some parts of Jharkhand and Tripura.
  • In the village council (panchayat) the lottery system is organized for which family will get how much land for farming.
  • They believe that the land belongs to the whole village and not to separate people.
  • So, they take turns doing farming in different parts of the village.
  • The chit (Lottery) system decides who get the land.
  • A beautiful pot made of bamboo was shaken well.
  • One chit was taken out.
  • People ask for the land on the basis of Tin.
  • The land on which we grow one tin of seeds is called one tin of land.

​Thus, tin means a land on which a farmer grows one tin of seeds

When I think of my family's history on the land. I experience a pang of regret. Unlike much of the arid West, where the land has gone virtuallyunchanged for centuries, my place of origin, western Kansas, has been torn up by agriculture. The flat plains, excellent soil, and sparse but justadequate rainfall permitted farming; therefore farming prevailed, and a good 90% of the original sod prairie is gone. The consequence, in humanterms, is that our relationship to our place has always felt primarily mercantile. We used the land and denied, or held at bay, its effect on us. Yetfrom my earliest childhood, when the most of the Kansas prairie was still intact, I 've known that the land also had a romantic quality. I've feltmoved by the expanse of it , enthralled by size. I take pride in my identity as a plains daughter.
